Despite having an unsuccessful run in the 2016 Presidential election, Senator Bernie Sanders has pushed on trying to fight for the economic and civil rights of Americans. Via social media posts, Sanders has been very critical of Trump since his arrival into the oval office. While at a town hall in Detroit, Sanders held no punches for Trump and recent actions.
When speaking on Trump and his response to incidents in Charlottesville, Virginia, Sanders said, “What we saw last week with Nazis and anti-Semites marching in Charlottesville, Virginia, was upsetting to all of us. The word that kept coming up from people, it was ‘scary, scary’ what was going on in America. Sanders went on to say, “But what was even worse ― before, what we’ve never seen before ― whether the president was a Democrat or a Republican, was a president who could not condemn Nazism in the strongest possible terms.”
According to reports, the town hall was set up to address jobs and health care, but Sanders used a part of his time to let people know his disdain for Trump’s actions. He went on to say, “400,000 Americans died and many more were injured fighting against Hitler and Nazism and fascism, and we have a president who was equivocal: ‘There are nice people on both sides.’ No, there are no nice Nazis.”
